Summarized: 2026-05-22
A strategy guide for the Dominion Warzone PvP day in Galactic Frontier, covering how to play both the invader and defender roles in this server-vs-server event.
Introduction & Initial Setup (00:00–00:44)
The host, Blinkz, introduces the Dominion Warzone PvP day, noting the footage is from an invader’s perspective. A critical first step is adjusting game settings: go to Settings > Graphics > Custom and toggle all options ON, particularly the “Selected Target” row, to avoid a common glitch where combat crafts and opponents are not selectable.
Entering the Battlefield (00:45–01:40)
To join the battle, go to the event page, select “Enter Battlefield,” and use the portal to teleport all flagships.
- Invaders: Can enter the opposing server at any time after reset. Advised to wait and go with a large group.
- Defenders: Cannot enter the opponent’s server.
- Tip: Save your combat crafts for the main battle starting at 14:00 UTC — you will need a full hangar.
Battlefield Overview & Strongholds (01:41–02:10)
The main objective, Xarnas, is in the center, surrounded by four strongholds: North, South, East, and West.
- North & South: Invader strongholds (Offensive and Defensive, respectively).
- East & West: Defender strongholds (Defensive and Offensive, respectively).
Communication & Planning (02:11–02:41)
Effective communication is vital. Blinkz recommends using a server Discord with voice channels. Coordinating a head count before the battle helps in assigning ships to specific targets effectively.
Invader Strategy (02:42–04:15)
- Initial Move: Start with two rallies per guild on each offensive stronghold. Once secured, hold them.
- Attacking Xarnas: Begin rallies on Xarnas with your strongest players, timing them simultaneously using the UTC clock.
- Cleanup Crew: Deploy sweepers to counter the opponent’s counter-rallies to protect your rally starters.
- Stronghold Buffs: Holding strongholds provides significant buffs (damage, defense, fleet capacity) that are essential for taking Xarnas.
Defender Strategy (05:03–05:30)
Defenders have the “home field advantage” and should garrison Xarnas and strongholds before the battle officially starts.
- Garrison: Place your strongest players in the Xarnas garrison.
- Distribution: Spread the rest of the server evenly across all four strongholds.
- Sweepers: Use a team to target enemy rally starters around Xarnas and the strongholds.
Battle Mechanics & Garrison Management (05:31–08:54)
The battle runs from 14:00 to 18:00 UTC. It is resource-intensive — expect to use millions in metal/water and lose many ships.
- Garrison Priority: Keeping the Xarnas garrison full is priority #1. Never let it drop below 15 players.
- Captaincy: Only the Prince or Military Commander can change the garrison captain. Always ensure the strongest player in the garrison is the captain to maximize HP.
- Rewards: Players receive “Honorary Commendations” (resources and speed-ups) based on the number of ships lost during the battle.
